Collaborators: Monika Dalach (Composer), Stephanie Foster, Anastasia Golovina, Dinis Pinto, Chris Head, WorkshOPERA
While at Guildhall, WorkshOPERA asked for volunteers to write site-specific pieces for the London Transport Museum. I was lucky enough to be paired with Monika Dalach, who I’d wanted to work with since hearing her work for the London Contemporary Dance School.
